FORT WORTH, TEXAS — The members of Broadway Baptist Church didn't intend for their new organ to be the largest in Texas. And they didn't purposely set out to supplant the organ at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris with the largest organ of French aesthetic in the world. But that's what happened. The Rildia Bee O'Bryan Cliburn Organ, to be dedicated in a lavish series of services and concerts starting Friday, is the product of years of fund-raising, discussion and hopes at the affluent, inner-city Southern Baptist church.
